The Ravished Plains

[Limit Trigger]

What used to be a large and beautiful plain full of flowers and wildlife, is now a desert, dust and bones lie where the happiness used to be. The demons lie in wait, to destroy anyone who comes near, and are ruthless. Just outside of the stronghold of the survivors, everything that can be done to destroy this place, has been done. Nothing can help you from the pain you will experience in this place. No trees, no cover, just death. Try to hide, but don't worry, they will catch you. Running won't help either, there are to many of them.  

[Rinexe]

A loud echo sounded throughout the land as it did by magic every week. "Disobedience, Rebellion, and any of the such shall not be tolerated in MY land!" the voice boomed throughout the area anywhere close to Ethral, though it would spread slowly. "Any form of two shall be punished by death, and rebirth under the cult! Follow the leadership, obey the leadership, and bow to the God!" the voice said. The voice was that of Defaeco, and ever since the siege, he had reclaimed leadership over the land, as a cruel dictator. Though it seemed that he fought a harsh war against the spread of demons, many knew it was false. It was a ruse. He started the spread, and it seemed no one could stop it. "I am your god, and without me, you shall fall!"

Walking into the plains, Exosus sighed at the lack of people, only demons running around.

[short post, just letting everyone know where to go]

And will never be found.

Calypso let out a long sigh at what was seen around him. Not because of what it used to be, but because of what it was not and that was a beach.

"Why do i even bother?" he thought to himself; he did not want to say what was on hid mind for fear of having the image of giving up already.

The platinum haired warrior at this time was in front of Exosus, who did not seem to pleased at the amount of people he attempted to persuade to go. While this may have been a detriment to the two males, it balanced out because there were TWO females. If Exosus played his cards right, perhaps he could have one of them. Calypso looked around and only saw a few demons in the distance attacking each other; since they had no food, their only source of meat was their own kind it seemed. The way they were attacking each other and eating each other's muscle tissue was only a good view for those who were either a cannibal or wanted to see what could happen to him or her. So far their lives were not in any real danger. Though without any cover they were not safe either.

"DISOBEDIENCE,REBELLION, AND ANY OF THE..."

"Are we really going to hear his voice over and over again?"

Smiling towards Calypso, Exosus let out a small sigh, his right eye slowly winking towards him. "Any idea where that Sonya of yours is?" Hearing the man speak, the obvious uncaring of Defaeco's rule, it was refreshing, and it gave the man some spine. He looked stronger as he stood uncaring of what was to come. Staring at the demons who devoured each other, one slowly turned its blood covered face towards the man, and began to approach slowly. Exosus backed up slowly, as to prepare himself. They were strong, they were all at around the strength of at least a B rank, and that gave almost no one a chance to kill them with ease.

"Alright... there are about 10 of them, I can take on at least two without dieing..." He smiled, pulling his blade out and readying himself to attack.

And will never be found.

 

[Agent Code Monkey]

"Nope no idea at all. She's a big girl though and can take care of herself; i would not worry too much." Calypso replied.

It was good to know that someone was concerned about the safety of Sonya besides Calypso. The platinum haired warrior wondered why Exosus was a little interested when he has not met her yet; probably because she was a woman. If so, then the platinum haired warrior did not blame him at all.

Their trip outside the stronghold seemed to be one of those adventures where it would start off boring but all of a sudden...

"Sniff Sniff..Sniff."

One of the demons that was watching the massacre of another demon picked up on the smell of the platinum haired warrior and Exosus. Its face was covered with demon blood and it gave the two what looked like a evil grin as it began to approach the both of them. Behind the bloody demon and on his left and right were nine other demons, making it a total of ten.

"Alright there are about 10 of them. I can take on at least two without dying." Exosus said as he drew his weapon.

"I'm pretty sure i can handle more than that with ease." the platinum haired warrior told him as he began walking towards the entire bunch, implying that he was going to take em all on by himself.

The platinum haired warrior summoned the Cryptic Chaos in his right hand while dark blue electricity began to crackle and race along Calypso's left fingertips. Two of the demons made a break for Calypso, one going left and the other going towards the right before attacking towards his face and towards Calypso's midsection.

"Let's play!" the platinum haired warrior said before raising his left arm in the air with his fingers extended. In less than a second, electricity began to leave the body of the demons' chest area and into the palm of the platinum haired warrior. The process took at max 3 seconds before the demons fell to the ground, motionless. The platinum haired warrior had stolen the demons bioelectricity. It flowed throughout their muscles and nerves, such as neurons; without those there would be no messages being delivered to the body or brain. It was like being brain dead basically.

One more demon during the process rushed towards Calypso before the platinum haired warrior sliced 4 times towards the demon at a speed a b rank could not keep up with. The platinum haired warrior was seen behind the third demon fixing his hair as the demon gave Exosus a screaming look before it's arms and legs began to slowly slide off from the demon and plop to the ground.

We are lost

The demons were easily slaughtered by the man in front of Exosus, impressive did not come close to the emotion expressed by the way the one in front of his destroyed the demons. Exosus was impressed, but not to be outdone. A few demons were running towards the carnage, for food of the other demons, and for some sort of chance to fight.

"I got these ones!" Exosus echoed through the sound of his blade slashing across the skull of one the beasts before him, blood flying onto his shirt and face. His royal eyes shining brightly as a smile shone in his face, Contrite Scourge slashing apart the beast, and forcing those nearby to back up. Turning his head to the side, he punched outward, Power drive ripping apart the intestines of the demon to his side. It began to spit up blood and bones, and then fell to the ground, motionless. The third one to his side grabbed him, and began to beat him recklessly with its fist, causing blood to stream down Exosus's side. "Damnit!" He yelled as fire surrounded his face, and led up the arm of the creature and lighting its body on fire, being defeated by a kick in the gut, pushing it onto the ground where it screamed in pain as its skin was burnt, and its bones were revealed, a large smoke flowing up its body, attracting more demons.

"Uh oh..." Exosus uttered as an A rank demon began to approach, it was much larger then the rest, and had long flowing wings. It walked up to the dead demons, and began to eat the remains, slapping its lips together as it groaned and laughed, the army of B rank demons behind it afraid to go forward to grab a piece of the food. The Demon growled towards Exosus, as it swung a single fist, sending him into the ground, blood covering most of his upper body.

"Hey... Calypso... I might not make it... but... I hear A rank demons are something that even you might have trouble with. watch out for this one..." Struggling to get up, Exosus covered his body with Power drive, stopping the bleeding, and allowing him to move, but just barely, if the flow of power stopped, so would his movement.

And will never be found.

"Slash!"
"Miss!"

"Slash!"
"Better..."

"Slash!"
"My turn!"

After the next demon missed his three strikes towards Calypso, the platinum haired warrior sliced only once but at the speed the eye could not keep up with once more. The platinum playboy appeared behind the demon and looked back at the demon with a grin. Afterwards he turned his head back around exposing his back towards the demon in what seemed to be a free shot for the demon. The demon quicky rushed towards Calypso with both its claws outward in an attempt to turn the platinum haired warrior into stew when suddenly the demon split into two; literally!

Calypso had sliced the demon from its groin area all the way to the head, though it was so quick, it took a few seconds before the effects occured. The left side of the demon plopped to the ground followed by the right side, revealing brains, muscle tissue, intestines, all the ingredients to make one vomit.

"Damn im good. How you doing over there?" the platinum haired warrior asked Exosus.

If he knew his name then he would have said it unfortunately; Exosus knew the platinum warrior's name but Calypso saw it as being extremely popular, especially after the event at the castle.

"Dammit!" was the only word that came from Exosus as a reply to Calypso.

The platinum haired warrior rushed to his position where he saw Exosus get caught on fire for a few seconds before the fire branched off to the body of the demon that was attacking him. It worked but it seemed like the demon's body was seasoned with some salt, pepper and paprika because as the demon was getting grilled, the smoke seemed to attract MORE demons like it was barbeque smoke.

"Looks like you were wrong..........you actually took on three; you should be proud of yourself." Calypso told Exosus cheerfully as he kneeled down on his left leg to see the injury that the demon caused.

"We've just started and already you got yourself hurt;oh this is going to be an interesting trip. Move your hand." the platinum warrior told Exosus.

"Uh oh..." Exosus uttered.

"What?.....Great...." the platinum haired warrior said as he saw a more bigger demon walk up to the demon feast and began to chow down like a starving man in a desert for days.

"Ok new rule; no demon cooking. Seriously i thought we were going to bring the lands back to normal, not have some sort of demon cookoff. I would have brought my apron and spatula if that was the case!"

The class A demon was too busy eating its dinner that it did not bother attacking Exo and Calypso; the remaining B class demons did not bother either because they were too scared of the class A monster. Then it seemed like the demon had eaten a piece of the demon that was badly burnt or lacked any flavor because out of nowhere, the monster unleashed a mean blow towards both of the warriors.

"Oh shi-"

The platinum haired warrior rolled out of the way to avoid the blow, while Exosus was too weak to make the attempt. Exosus dropped to the floor like a sack of potatos, obviously lacking a good chin. Then again when a class A demon tries its hand at boxing, having a good chin may not be enough. The B class monsters could have easily killed Exosus at this point, leaving a lonely Calypso to defend himself but they were too buzy trying to get the leftovers of the food.

"Hey...Calypso...I might not make it...but...I hear-

"Yeah Yeah Yeah, just sick back, enjoy the show, and try not to bleed out on me Okay, Okay." the platinum haired warrior told him, missing the piece of information stating that it may be around the same strength as Calypso.

The platinum haired warrior got up, looked towards the A rank demon and began to walk towards it at a calm pace, ready to annihilate him in mere seconds.

"So how do you want to do this; should i start with the leg, arm, gut, or just finish quickly and go for your head.?  

[Limit Trigger]

We are lost

The B ranked demons were around all of them, and although he could take them out, the man with him could not defeat them all, he could only take so much without completely being taken over by them. "Alright! Exosus gots this one!" Smiling, he slashed down the torso of one of the beasts, powerdrive causing a ripple effect, hitting other monsters, and taking off limbs, forcing a loud yelp from all at once. His legs wobbling for a moment, it took a lot out of him to disable nearly all of the enemies at once.

They were beginning to close in on this blonde. All missing at least one limb, some were using arms to crawl, while acid blood covered the dead ground, organs falling out of the few who were ripped in half, yet refused to die. Grabbing onto limbs, they were pulling him down, and attacking him with large fangs and claws. "Don't worry I got this!" Exosus smiled as a blast of flames spewed from his mouth, turning all of them into ash. He was unharmed, or at least he thought he was, but very tired. He let his head fall back onto the ground.

Laying on the ground, it was warm, abnormally warm. What is this feeling? Exosus looked down next to him, a large amount of blood crawling out from under him. It was him. A small amount of mist began to cover the otherwise cold ground, and Exosus let out a small gasp, breath leaving him. Looking up, Calypso had enough power to fight the rank A demon. His vision was getting hazy, as the creature reached out to attack, going towards the platinum haired savior. It seemed as though his eyes were getting heavy, they felt so much better as they closed. Letting them slip down, unconsciousness began to fill him.

"Alright...nap...time." Exosus closed his eyes completely and powerdrive left him in entirety. His limbs were bleeding, and he was in rough condition.

awaken...

A pulse of...something began to surround him. It was bright yellow, mixed with a purple tint. It was such a strong entity, that the A ranked demon in front of him ignored Calypso even though the man could easily take that moment to kill the beast.

awaken...

Bright yellow and purple flames were shining brightly over each shoulder, power drive returning into him, and even though his eyes were closed, he began to stand up, no muscle movement as his body rose into the air, a transformation taking place.

AWAKEN!

Eyes opening, they were shining brightly, the purple flow of power out of them coming into the atmosphere like a fog, while his blonde hair also seemed to glow, almost a gold color as it was covered with the yellow energy. He grew a few inches taller, and looked sleeker in general. A calm look was over the face of the man, and he smiled, his teeth shining with this power as well. Placing his hand onto Calypso's shoulder, he began to talk, his voice deeper and flowing better then before, even though he was a natural born speaker, now he seemed to be unhuman at how fluent and elegant he spoke. "Allow me... take a break buddy. I am feeling... relentless .

Not even using a weapon, Exosus placed his fist onto the stomach of the large beast, and it instantly turned into dust, lit in purple and yellow flames. Letting out a small sigh, all of the demons around did the same thing, the plains lighting in a golden display of power. "This is our land! You cannot have it! His voice echoed loudly through the land of Ethral.

And will never be found.

 

[Agent Code Monkey]

The B rank demons seemed to surrond Calypso and the A rank demond form some kind of circle, attempting to turn this battle into an epic showdown. They must of figured that since Exosus was on the brink of death, he was no threat to them. Calypso and the A rank demon were circling each other, walking back and forth staring each other down like cowboys in the wild wild west, just before the guns were drawn. Suddenly a loud scream was heard from one of the demons; if it was not for Exosus using third person, the platinum haired warrior would have looked ant the class A demon would have gotten a first strike.

The platinum playboy was impressed that Exosus had some more fuel left in the tank; his attack had not only damaged the B rank demons but tore off at least a limb. At this point, a single slash from Calypso would have sent them back where they came from. Yet Exosus seemed to have did Calypso's side work for them when he roasted them like he did the other demon. The only switch was instead of smoke, they were turned to ash; a better way hopefully. The A rank took just one peak near the ashes and Calypso was suddenly right in front fo the A rank, slashing towards its chest horizontally with both hands before slicing the opposite way,diagonally upward to the left and right and ending his combo with a stab towards the gut.

The A rank's body jerked as a result of the attacks, causing deep cuts up to 3-4 inches deep but the A rank was still standing. At the last attack, the A rank simply stepped to the side in order to avoid the stab, grabbed Calypso by the throat and soared into the sky around 50 feet before attempting to slam him into the ground.

Calypso tried to loosen the grip of the A rank but it was to no use. He then switched the grip of his blade to be similar to a dagger and began stabbing at the forearm of the arm that was choking Calypso. The A rank cried before releasing Calypso and holding his forearm, nursing it like a hurt child while the platinum haired warrior did a backflip, causing him to fall the correct way with his feet first. He landed in a kneeled position with his blade extended towards the demon who was flying towards Calypso at a great speed, giving the warrior not much time to pivot his entire body and grab his leg, sending the two soaring through the hot skies.

While this was happening, Exosus was slowly dying. He was in no condition to even injure the A class demon if Calypso somewhat failed. It looked like he had given up; he slowly closed his eyes and his body went limp. The pool of blood would be his deathbed and his wounds will be the last thing on his mind before reaching the afterlife.

The class A demon was getting electrocuted by Calypso, who was still hanging on by the demon's leg before the platinum haired warrior stabbed the demon in the back. The class
A demon cried once more and kicked Calypso in the face twice before the platinum haired warrior fell towards the ground. Though Calypso managed to get in 5 lightning bolts towards the body of the class A demon before his back connected to the ground.

"awwwwhhhhh that hurt..ugh."

The class A demon fell to the ground as well after being unable to move due to the electricity. The battle was not over yet as the two got up slowly and stood on their feet at the same time, ready to continue when suddenly a bright light emanated from Exosus's position. The class A demon and Calypso both stared at what was going on with the boy. Unfortunately they missed the epic introduction; all they saw was a fully healed, taller, yellow blond warrior in front of them. The energy that he was giving off was amazing; this was definitely not the Exosus from before. The being slowly walked towards the platinum haired warrior and placed his hand on his shoulder, telling him to sit this one out.

"I don't think...........never mind, go for it." the platinum haired warrior said as he walked away from the class A demon before turning around and watching from a distance. The class A demon however was not fond with the tag team and went in to show that Exosus's display was only a display, nothing more. Exosus quickly showed that the display was more than just bright lights. With just a simple punch to the stomach, the class A demon instantly turned into dust, followed by the rest of the demond nearby as well.

"Whoa..."

In addition to displaying his power, he also gave a message; a LOUD message to Defaeco.

"Great, now im going to hear from him again...wonderful." Calypso said as he walked towards Exosus.

"Nice job; of course i had to weaken him up for you while you were bathing in your own blood but that's nothing to worry about it's all in the past. Just let me know im going to have to carry you once you power down; or is this a permanent makeover?"  

[Awesome Sensei]

A large echo shot through the clouds, and something of great power began to show. The plains lit in a bright flame, lightning shooting down from the sky, as a dragon flew through the air, a large cat on its back. They looked down, and a flame began to devour Exosus, while a shock of lightning smashed against Calypso.

{the old two... they didn't post at all, welcome to being a master of the element. You both get 50 points. and infinity where your element should be. I will edit it right now. )  

[Limit Trigger]

Something inside of Exosus was growing, perhaps it was the display of power he just showed, but it was also that creature in the air, the dragon, blowing flames upon his body. They were warm, like a hot summer day, the breeze of the flames against his face were relaxing, sending him out of the transformation, yet not into unconsciousness, he felt better then before. Although for a moment, he was ignoring Calypso, the man who was working with him this entire time, he finally decided to speak, after almost a minute of silence.

"Yes that transformation of mine, I don't know when or how I use it. But this... this is different. My flames, they feel..." Launching a large blast of fire into the air, it was thousands of times stronger, and the heat caused the ground to melt. "They feel complete."

Turning to the man next to him, he was sure that he felt the same influence, although compared to the ability that he had before, this was different, Calypso had mastered lightning, but now, it was as though he was a part of lightning. It was magnificent to watch.

"As soon as your ready, let me know good man, because we should return, and tell them of our journey, or we should head forward, and find Sonya." A smile found its way over his lips, he was more confident in his power, and that with his transformation, his golden and purple flames would contain so much of a punch, that not even Teran would be able to stop them with ease.

Placing a hand onto the man's shoulder, a sharp shock went through his body. Static. "Ow! Damnit! Your almost as shocking as I am hot!" Laughing to himself for a moment, it was as though he was getting the same humor as the one next to him. To much time together it seemed, and not enough time back at base, training for the end of the world that they were experiencing.

 

[Doctor Corn]

The soul devoured by a demon

Alex watched as sever upper class demons surrounded one of the last pockets of resistance in this godforsaken land. The level B demons managed to keep the upper hand until interesting flames and a spike in power erupted from one of the two, striking them down with ease. A twisted grin crossed the crazed face of Alex, stained with the blood of those who stood against him. "Well. It looks like this could get interesting. Could use grabbing a few more souls for Balor before nightfall, damn quota of his. These souls should have the power to get that damn demon off my back for a while" mused the once great general of the rebele.

A slight disturbance in the air was all that could be heard as he appeared near the still flaming form of Exosus. Good, his power has shot up a lot from when I last studied his fighting technique, nice to see that.......MEMORY FAILURE ABORT ABORT flashed through Alex's mind, the fragment of memory sinking back into the abyss as Kaze reemerged. "Your soul.....is strong" he murmured to Exosus before turning to his comrade. A certain feeling of familiarity rushed through Alex, turning his thoughts momentarily from the matter at hand. Alex shook his head, then took out his hammer and preparing for whatever attacks may come.

Will it ever be returned?

 

[Agent Code Monkey]

Exosus was about to answer Calypso's question when suddenly they heard a loud noise in the air. The platinum haired warrior looked up and gripped his blade ready to slice whatever was coming this way that planned on making him and Exosus dinner. It was not a group of B class demons or an A rank; it was something completely stronger.

"What are they doing here?" the platinum haired warrior said in a angry tone.

The fire and lightning genesis had more then enough power combined to take out defaeco and bring these lands back to the way they were by now; more importantly they could have prevented this. Instead they just sat back and let the events take place.

At least that's how Calypso saw it.

Suddenly everything around them began to heat up at a tremendous pace; the demons that were not turned to ash began to catch on fire, along with the ground. In addition, lightning began to strike in different locations in the plains. Were the genesis planning on killing them? Did they see Calypso and Exosus as the ones responsible for the chaos? Either way, the platinum haired warrior was not going to sit back and let the genesis of fire and lightning kill them. The platinum haired warrior learned a few new tricks that will show exactly why he is not to be messed with.

"Looks like we'll be going out in a blaze of glory if we fall here...excuse the pun." Calypso said.

Suddenly, flames from nowhere began to eat away at Exosus's entire body.

"Damn!"

Calypso was about to put him out using his blade, but suddenly.

"Bzzzzzzzzz."

"AGGGH!"

Calypso dropped suddenly to one knee and was seen gasping for breath like he was just released from being underwater after hours and hours. His heart began to race faster and faster by the second, while smoke and electricity was emanating from his body.

"Haa......Haa..........Haa...............Haa............................Haa"

The platinum haired warrior felt like he was slowly reaching the afterlife. It got to the point where Calypso's other leg dropped, leaving him on all fours. For the last couple of seconds, he only thought about Dimitri and Sonya. The platinum haired warrior, other than Sonya never created a deep connection with anybody after graduation and his teacher's death. It was not like he didn't get along with people but the women were temporary while his relationship with his male peers were not solid enough to be considered a friendship.

"Heh....Looks like my party's over finally; wish i could have gone out with a bang though." he though as he let out one last laugh to himself before he went quiet.

The platinum haired warrior was no more.

But something happened after Calypso stopped breathing; something completely unexpected.

His heart began to pump once more at a slow rate, then at a slightly faster rate, until it was back to normal once more. Calypso was breathing again, rising back up slowly. He looked at his hands and saw his dark blue electricity run along his hands, gauntlets, and legs for a few seconds before they turned a different color once more. They became a platinum looking color.

"Is this what i think it is?" he thought to himself as he felt a different feeling in his power level; his heart began to race once more this time out of excitement.

At first, he could feel a barrier that blocked his power from going any farther even though he was at its highest. It was similar to having a knot in a water hose that was turned on. Now that knot was released and the water just flowed naturally and freely, without fear of being turned off.

Calypso had received the gift of the lightning Genesis.

As he looked at the different color of his lightning and felt the new energy he posessed, he thought about searching for Dimitri and settling his rivarly once and for all. The platinum haired warrior thought about the fun in taking on opponents that were around his strength or higher suddenly faded along with his old power; the wherabouts of Sonya as well as finishing his party with Dimitri. At first he could just sense the lightning energy resting within her but now he could "feel" it. Once he did he was impressed with the technique Sonya had picked up that caused her to be unseen to those who can sense energy levels.

Exosus had answered Calypso's question regarding his transformation, which Calypso forgot for a few seconds but then remembered quickly as he gave Exosus a nod.

"But this...this is different. My flames, they feel..."

Exosus had received the gift of the genesis as well when he was being cooked alive, which meant that his power was infinite as well and that Calypso did not have to carry him on his back. He gave his new powers a test drive as he launched a blast of fire towards the air and could feel the heat around him heat heat up like it did before. Calypso looked at the ground and saw a portion of the ground melting as a result.

"Lets see what i got."

Calypso then charged up electrical energy in his entire body and redirected it towards his left hand, gathering as much as he could. After three seconds, the platinum haired warrior slinged his arm towards the distance and fired the lightning bolt. It was the size of an actual lightning bolt as it traveled farther than the eye could see, leaving a loud thunderous noise and a heated atmosphere. Though what was weird was that Calypso did not feel like he had wasted any energy at all; he could have continued with that simple attack forever it seemed.

"Oh that feels gooood; i'll even go far to say it feels better than s....never mind. Who would have thought we would have hit the jackpot when everything seems to be going down the drain?

Exosus then asked Calypso if he was ready to move on in a more confident voice. It was more confident then back at the hideout and more confident than the fight between the demons. Calypso was glad and comfortable that he had another genesis by his side. Not to mention he had another being by his side as well in addition to Sonya.

"I can feel her.....she's safe; she somehow managed to cancel her energy and lifeforce signal. In other words, she's considered dead when she's not." Calypso replied.

"Forget the others; they thought we were foolish and they thought you weren't strong enough. They figured that we would die out and here and we did....All that stand here now are the genesis of fire and the genssis of lightning. I say we go back to the city and crash defeaco's party genesis style. The others will get the hint eventually."

Exosus then placed a hand on his shoulder and experienced a small amount of electricity surge through his body.

"Your almost as shocking as i am hot."

"Yeah well you hand is the opposite ofa good ice pack after the beating i took."

The two then shared a laughing moment, which was good since they both had a sense of humor. Though their moment came to and end when he felt someone; it was Alex, Calypso's peer.

"Glad to see that you managed to keep yourself alive as well as your zoo animals." Calypso told alex, referring to his techniques that have something to do with a creature. "We were just going to crash a certain party that was responsible for all this; you coming?"

"Your soul....is strong." Alex told Exosus.

"Yeah he has been exercising and eating a proper diet. You coming with us or not."

Alex answered Calypso by summoning his trusty hammer and prepared himself.

"You try, cause im not getting to him." Calypso told Exosus.

The platinum haired genesis was aware of the blood on his face but assumed that it was from the demons that he must have killed on his way here. Though with Alex's demenaor in these last couple of seconds, that did not seem to be the case.  

[Doctor Corn]

Alex merely cocked his head at the noisy onlooker. "Alex.......isn't in right now, but you may leave a message after the beep. BEEP" Alex screamed, launching a massive serpent of flame from his fist. The snake hissed slightly before lunging and exploding at the spot where Calypso was standing. A faint glimmer of light lit the area around his hand, a halo of light shined for a moment before being consumed by darkness.

Divertion aside, Alex turned and faced his true target. "The power of a genesis suits you" he said casually "maybe it would find a better master if I stole your soul.......flame would be a handy addition to my wind". A sharp pain rocked Alex's frame as disconnected images floated through the static of his memory. Lightning adding power to an unknown entity, twin snakes hurtling at an unknown foe. "That man. I don't know why, but his comments are getting to me" Alex muttered, swinging a growing hammer at the flaming body of Exosus
